Moral and theological propositions don’t become true for us just because of the words. We look at who is speaking those words, what effect those words have had on her/him, what we can reasonably predict would happen to us, our homes, our culture if we adopted the same words.

This moral decay has been around for a really long time. Ideas have consequences. How’d we get “drag queen story hour,” or boys in girls’ bathrooms, or nearly a million abortions a year, or the trafficking and abuse of children, or the reckless damage to our water, soil, and air? Same.
